Bye Bye Summer 2009

Today was our last full day at the beach. Steve, Julie and Amalia came down to join us for some fun in the sand. We lucked out and had a beautiful day. We pack up and head home tomorrow. It was a great vacation!

Chilly at Old Barney

Well, day 4 at the beach is a little better than yesterday. It rained off and on yesterday, today is just cool and cloudy and VERY windy. We decided to bundle up Sebastian and head to the north end of the island where "Old Barney" the Barnegat lighthouse is located. We walked out to the end and looked around, but the wind was a bit too much for the baby so we came back home. At least he got to see it! Next year we will go up inside and show him the amazing view from the top.

Vacation, Day 2

Today, my mother and my sister-in-law came down and we went to the bay beach for a while. Amalia and Sebastian were so cute together. I can't wait until this time next year when they can play with each other more and Sebastian can enjoy the beach a little more. Now it is quiet time and we're all ready for BED.

BEACH BABY

Sebastian got to see the beach today, and even put his feet in the sand and water. We all had a great time! He seems to love watching the waves and didn't mind the feel of the sand and water on his feet at all.

OK, back to relaxing!

Sebastian Loves Corvettes!

My parents got this for him on their Corvette Caravan trip. How cute is this!

Labor Day Weekend!

OK first of all, how cute is this picture? We had a bunch done, but of course our favorite (and everyone else's) is the one with his tounge out. That's my boy!

This weekend started off with a 4 month checkup for the baby. He did great as always, and the report from the doctor was wonderful. He is 17 pounds 9.5 ounces, and 27.75 inches long. That's up over 2 pounds and 2.5 inches in 2 months. All that formula he is eating is doing its job, clearly. He tolerated his shots just fine and we got the "all clear" for solid food.

We made our own sweet potato puree on Friday night, and started feeding it to him on Saturday. He really took to it, and though it was a bit different than the oatmeal or rice he was used to, I think he enjoyed it. We made some peas today, we will introduce them tomorrow and see how it goes. The "funniest" thing (not so funny actually) is when he sneezes with a mouthful of food. It just goes everywhere, and there is nothing you can do. We also noticed that we go through a lot of bibs and burp clothes these days... not a surprise.

Just a few short days until we head to the beach. I cannot tell you how badly we need this vacation. I'll blog about the trip next week.

Short Visit, Big Fun

My parents are on their way to Bowling Green, KY on the Corvette Caravan 2009 and they stopped here on their way. Their friends Max and Larry Uhlig were with them. We had a nice lunch together before they got back on the road. Sebastian had a nice visit with his Grammie and Pop Pop, and he got the cutest Corvette onsie!
